Chapter 202: Three Lines of Defense

On a small hill in the distance, a group of more than ten cavalrymen were observing the fierce battle between the imperial court camp and the Yellow Turban camp, and the man with a bronze mask at the head was Lu Shuang.

"Lord, looking at the battle situation, it seems that the people in the imperial court camp can't hold on for long, do we want to help?" Cheng Hui on Lu Shuang's right asked.

"Not yet, it's not time for us to make a move." Lu Shuang didn't bring out many troops, and in his plan, it was not yet time for them to intervene.

In Lu Shuang's opinion, although the organization of Smile and others can use the terrain to defend, this is not a natural danger after all, and the gap in the number of the two sides is too great, and these three lines of defense can't drag on tonight. However, it can be seen from the number of defenders that Smile and the others are not trying to defend here, they should be holding back the Yellow Turban Army and trying to consume its vital strength.

Although the archers of the defenders caused a lot of casualties to the Yellow Turban Army, the number of archers in the Domination Guild as the first guild in Hailing County is still quite large, and this situation will not last long, and the domain will definitely make his response.

At the official road, where the fighting was fierce, the front of the first line of defense was already full of corpses, and the domain had to send thousands of men to carry the corpses away so as not to cause unnecessary impact on the attacking troops.

There are not many defenders left in the first line of defense, only more than 5,000 people are left from 30,000 people, and it is a matter of time before they are breached, but the 4,000 archers sent by Smile have caused great casualties to the Yellow Turban Army of the fourth and fifth orders, although the archers can only fire less than a hundred rounds of arrows at most, but if you don't want to get rid of the archers, shoot a hundred arrows at each archer, even a domain with a million troops can't bear this loss.

"This group of archers is also too hateful, standing there on the fence and injuring my soldiers with arrows, but the smile is too good, how can my million-strong army be dragged down by a few thousand archers?" Yu sneered and ordered: "Pass my military order, let the firebird take the archers and shield soldiers to destroy the archers on the wall for me, be careful not to everyone stand together and scatter the points." ”

The archers, who have been frantically exporting since the beginning of the war, have become the focus of the Yellow Turban Army, because they stand on the wall in two rows, and there are no heavy shield soldiers or shield soldiers in front of them to resist the arrows on the opposite side, so when the domain sends archers to counterattack, the archers on the wall are like a line of live targets, or the kind of **naked targets.

The archers and shieldmen carried by the firebird were scattered into several squads to shoot arrows at the wall from different directions, causing heavy losses to the archers of the imperial camp. And the Yellow Turban archers are not all concentrated together, even if the archers of the defending side counterattack according to the height of the two meters of the wall, but the effect is quite weak, the task of the Yellow Turban archers is to drag or eliminate the archers of the defending side, and they can hide behind the shield soldiers when they encounter a counterattack, as long as they do not shoot arrows at the Yellow Turban Army fighting in front of them, and so on to eliminate all the defenders of the first line of defense, this group of archers is not going to evacuate with their tails between them.

After smiling and seeing that his archers had suffered hundreds of casualties, he knew that the first line of defense could not be defended, and ordered all the archers to withdraw so that there would be no more casualties. In such a dense battlefield, a single archer can kill at least a dozen enemy personnel, and all of them still have half the physical strength to play a role in the ensuing tough defensive battles.

With the last defender of the first line of defense lying in a pool of blood, the Yellow Turbans managed to break through the first line of defense after losing 200,000 Yellow Turbans and 30,000 4th-order Yellow Turbans. The two-meter-high wall did not prevent the Yellow Turbans from attacking the next line of defense, they piled some stones and wood under the base of the wall, and raised them a little higher to climb over the wall, even if they were first- or second-order Yellow Turbans, they could easily climb over the wall.

However, the first line of defense was only the weakest line of defense, which was used to consume their physical strength, and when the Yellow Turbans climbed over the wall, they found that the second line of defense was several times more difficult to attack than the first line of defense. First of all, the wall of the second line of defense is three meters high, which can be regarded as a section of the city wall, and there is a half-meter-high female wall above the wall, which is equivalent to the attacker facing a three-and-a-half-meter-high city wall.

Ke Yu was too confident in himself, and only brought twenty ladders when he went on the expedition, although they were made by carpenters, and the quality was more guaranteed than those made temporarily, but in this kind of battle, it was extremely easy to be damaged, and once damaged, there was a lack of siege tools, so it needed to be used carefully.

"President, should we use that guy?" Firebird came to Domain's side and asked.

"That's our secret weapon, don't expose it until you have to, it's just a three-meter-high wall, I'll just let people raise it." There was a hint of fanaticism and madness in Domain's eyes.

"Pass my military order and continue to call the Yellow Turbans to attack, I don't believe that this wall can withstand the attack of my million-strong army." Domain ordered.

This time, although the defenders still had to face the attack of the Yellow Turbans, it was a full 200,000 people, and the defenders standing behind the wall could not help but tremble when they saw such a dense crowd of people, like a yellow ant colony, after crossing the first wall and attacking them.

These yellow turbans were originally a group of farmers or craftsmen, and most of the weapons in their hands were agricultural tools or tools, and very few were more than a foot long. However, some of the Yellow Turbans knew that with the weapons in their hands, it was impossible to hurt the defenders on the wall, so they looked for weapons on the battlefield of the first line of defense to use before they attacked.

The entire section of the wall was less than three miles long, but 200,000 people attacked, and basically the Yellow Turbans were crowded to attack. Although the number of Yellow Turbans was more than twice that of the defenders, the three-meter-high wall and the long iron spear or fine iron sword became the trench between them and the above the wall, and countless Yellow Turbans swarmed, and countless Yellow Turbans fell under the spear heads, and the defenders above were replaced by several groups of people due to physical exhaustion, but the Yellow Turbans below were still endless.

As more and more yellow turbans fell to the ground, the three-mile-long wall was full of corpses, so that the attacking yellow turbans could rush to the top of the wall to engage the defenders with the corpses, and gradually changed from a wall to an uphill road, which was extremely unfavorable to the defenders.

"I really underestimated the domain, I didn't expect him to come up with the idea of using corpses to make the wall lose its function, it's not good for us to go on like this." Smile worried.

"The Yellow Turban Army is several times larger than our defenders, and the high-level soldiers are not below us, we can't win this battle anyway, as long as we can kill the opponent's soldiers as much as possible and strive for a little more points, we can exchange for enough high-level soldiers, so that we have a better chance of winning in the upper domain. And the soldiers sent this time, mainly players, can be resurrected if they die, and the yellow turbans sent by the domain are dead if they die, and it is estimated that after this battle, he will lose at least more than 300,000 yellow turbans. Tianyu analyzed, but it was also the first time for him to experience such a large-scale battle, and his face was obviously paler than usual.

"I hope so." The smiling brow has not been soothed.

The role of the Yujian wall has been infinitely reduced, and even the defenders were forced to abandon the wall in order to give themselves a space to retreat, after all, the number of yellow turbans is mostly and the thickness of the wall is limited, if they continue to kill, the front will become a slower uphill, and their original side based on the advantage of the wall will limit their play and support because of the wall.

"It's time to give them a fatal blow, Firebird, you bring the sixth-order Yellow Turban Army to tear apart the opponent's defenders, and I will send the fifth-order Yellow Turban Army to the flank to assist you." Domain said to the firebird beside him.

The Yellow Turban Army had 80,000 sixth-order soldiers on this road, far exceeding several forces on the defending side, plus the fourth-order soldiers and fifth-order soldiers were dispatched at the same time, the Yellow Turban Army jumped over the second wall and fought with the defenders, and finally the Yellow Turban Army with more sixth-order soldiers was better than the defenders, and the defenders began to retreat one after another. However, since the whole front was only three miles long, and the number of people who could fight at the same time was small, the defenders, although not low, retreated slowly, and by this time the sun was already in the west, and gradually it was getting dark.

Therefore, the domain sent the main force even more, trying to destroy the defenders in one fell swoop before dark, because the two sides fought from noon to almost evening, and the physical exertion was extremely great, and even those soldiers who did not join the battlefield did not have the same sharpness as when they first arrived. And the domain doesn't want to smile that they get too many points, even if these yellow turbans are cannon fodder, but they add up to a lot, if the smile is exchanged for high-level soldiers, they will lose hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the comparison of strength between the two sides will change slightly.

Seeing that the general trend has gone, if you continue to fight, maybe the defenders of the second line of defense will be wiped out, and the other party has already sent sixth-order soldiers, and the high-level soldiers can form an obvious suppressive effect on the upper and lower soldiers, so it is better to save more of your own vitality.

Under the command of the boss, the defenders in front of the second line of defense left behind the palace, and the defenders behind evacuated the official road in an orderly manner, because the players accounted for the majority, they were at least promoted by one level in this battle, even if they were killed and dropped, they were still acceptable, and they could get points after killing the Yellow Turban Army of the opposing camp, and when they were resurrected, they would hand over these points to the lord and get good rewards and subsidies, so the morale was not greatly affected, but they fought more desperately, hoping to replace one or two Yellow Turban Army before they died.

The third line of defense is different from the previous two, because Smile, Tianyu and others know that most of this battle is lost, and even they have to withdraw their troops quickly when they see that the situation is not good, so the last line of defense is designed to withdraw troops and prevent the pursuit of the Yellow Turban Army.

The specific design is to build a three-meter-high wall, but with many wooden ladders, and your soldiers move up and down, and at the back of the wall are prepared a lot of wood, if the situation is not good, the troops will withdraw, and then the soldiers will throw these logs in front of the third wall, and then light a fire. The timber was enough to support the fire for several hours, to stop the pursuit of the Yellow Turbans, and to make matters worse, the fire burned people while adding firewood to the salary, and the ground had to cool down before it could pass, and when the Yellow Turbans passed, the defenders didn't know where to go.

This design is actually a helpless move, the gap in numbers and strength, making it difficult for the defenders of several forces to defeat the powerful Yellow Turban Army, the player forces of the court camp can only weaken or delay the offensive of the Yellow Turban Army as much as possible before the court acts, or fight guerrilla warfare to get more points to exchange for soldiers, but exchanging a soldier is ten times the number of soldiers of the same rank, it is destined to be impossible to exchange much, the real intention is to drag down the development, let their big brother take action to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army. 2k reading web
